GeoDirectory - Saved Search Notifications

GeoDirectory Save Search Notifications is an official add-on for the GeoDirectory ecosystem, the powerful directory plugin for WordPress. Its main function is to allow users to save their custom searches and receive automatic notifications when new listings matching their criteria are published. It is designed for geolocated directory sites such as real estate portals, job boards, classifieds, business directories, and event listings.

The tool transforms a one-time search into continuous tracking. Visitors can save filter combinations —location, category, price range, keywords, and custom fields— and the system automatically monitors the directory for new matches. When a relevant listing appears, the user receives an email alert with details and a preview of the new content, without needing to repeat the search manually.

Its standout features include full management of saved searches from the user dashboard, where each member can view, edit, or delete their criteria. It also offers control over notification frequency, allowing users to choose between immediate alerts, daily summaries, or weekly summaries. Administrators can customize email templates to maintain brand consistency, and users have the option to pause or disable notifications for specific searches whenever they wish.

The add-on integrates natively with GeoDirectory's structure, respecting its taxonomies, custom fields, and permissions. It uses background processing to send notifications without affecting site performance, even in directories with a large volume of listings. Its interface is intuitive and requires no programming knowledge for setup.

This add-on is ideal for directory owners looking to increase user retention and encourage repeat visits. By turning searches into subscriptions to specific opportunities, each alert represents a signal of interest that strengthens the relationship between the site and its audience, ensuring users are always aware of the updates that truly matter to them.
